Can we read the fire-history from a muddy archive ? Biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion reconstructed from North-American lake sediments

Description: Das Projekt "Can we read the fire-history from a muddy archive ? Biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion reconstructed from North-American lake sediments" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Zürich, Geographisches Institut durchgeführt. With global change, wildfires will become more frequent worldwide. However, the long-term fate of the combustion residues in the terrestrial environment and its influence on the global carbon cycle remain poorly understood. Within this project we will investigate sedimentary records from North-American lakes in natural setting (Lake Superior) and downwind of urbanized/industrialized areas (Rhode Island) to differentiate fire-residues from biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion.
